Lord of the Rings Online is shaping up to be a serious contender for the coveted MMORPG throne. At E3, I able to get a first-hand look at the amazing Middle-earth that they have crafted in the digital realm. Going into the meeting, I had mixed feelings about the game – on the one hand, handling the license is a delicate endeavor, as Middle-earth is dear to many fans' hearts, but on the other, Turbine has had many years of experience in creating dramatic online worlds. I'm happy to say that I think J.R.R. Tolkien's world is in fine hands with Turbine, and that this title is one that I'm looking forward to playing.
